The San Jacinto College men’s basketball team made the most of just seven players to see the court as the Ravens toppled Angelina Junior College in Lufkin Wednesday night 75-63. San Jac remained tied with Jacksonville College at 9-5 with just four contests remaining in the regular season. That regular season concludes with a showdown against the Jaguars in two weeks.

The Ravens began the foundation to perhaps a new winning streak on the Roadrunners after Angelina snapped a 10-game losing streak to San Jac back on Jan. 16 with a three-point win at Anders Gym. This time, the Ravens jumped on top 41-27 at intermission and that cushion was never seriously threatened for the final 20 minutes.

Mohammad Lee enjoyed an outstanding game in a couple of areas. In the scoring column, he finished with 26 points. Lee was outstanding at the foul line, sinking 9-of-10, accounting for over 50 percent of the team’s successful free throws. From the floor, he was 7-of-14, including 3-of-7 from behind the 3-point arc.

Lee also secured 13 rebounds, six offensive, seven under the defensive glass.

Brandon Chatman tacked on 19 points, 15 of which came from behind the 3-point arc on 5-of-14 shooting. Danny Lawhorn contributed 15 points, mostly on buckets from inside the arc.

This Wednesday, San Jac travels south for its first conference assignment at Coastal Bend Community College. In the first meeting, the Ravens coasted 98-73. After that game, the final three will be played in the Pasadena area. Two at home and a road game in Baytown at Lee College.
